Whale shark rescue in Maduvvari
In June, on the island of Maduvvari (Meemu atoll - Maldives), a whale shark was stuck in the lagoon, unable to move. Fortunately, the island's inhabitants helped it to free itself. They guided him safely into deeper waters outside the lagoon!
Thank you for saving him so he could have the chance to grow and reproduce.
